Does anyone know where one can obtain a list of staff positions and their associated salaries for the Foundation, TPI and FLWPT? Since the organizations are nonprofits, they need to file IRS form 990s, which detail total spending for salaries, and specific salaries for board members, trustees, key ...

Probably not a complete list, but this is what imdb.com has for some of the houses mentioned in the thread: Ennis-Brown House - 2655 Glendower Avenue, Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California, USA 1.

We just got back from this concert. It was just this side of heaven - a warm summer night, a friendly crowd, good food, a great jazz group, and, of course, the newly-restored Turkel house. I first saw the house in 2006 when the conservancy conference toured. Messrs Silk and Morgan had just bought it...

Fortunately, it looks fixable, and the fireplace escaped the paint. I suspect the slatted wood on the underside of the ...

Heidi,
A thriller with a Wright apprentice sounds like a great read, and I bet you'll make more than a few sales to the members of this forum. Good luck!

Roderick,
Zsa Zsa?!? FZZW? Heh.

Two comments: 1. It seems to me that fireplaces are low on the list of polluters, well below coal burning power plants and automobiles. Banning them may give folks a feeling of contributing to improving the environment. I wonder how many who voted to ban fireplaces also have an SUV in the driveway, ...

I'll change the Safari instruction to say:

c. For Safari, press command at the same time you click the mouse - you will see a menu. Choose "Copy Image Address".

Any other changes?

Quite a few people want to post photos, but need instructions. Here's my attempt: 1. First, your photo needs to be stored somewhere accessible by others. There are two possibilities: a. The photo exists somewhere on the web already. Go to step 2. b. You have a photo on your computer. You will need t...
